Final Report Chapter 16 Optimized Dzongkhag-wise Rural Electrification Master Plan – The Result of the Master Plan CHAPTER 16 OPTIMIZED DZONGKHAG-WISE RURAL ELECTRIFICATION MASTER PLAN – THE RESULT OF THE MASTER PLAN – 16.1 Method for Developing the Optimized Phase Development Plan Based on the work flow described previously in the Chapter 13, the rural electrification master plan was formulated as follows: a) Firstly, as described in Chapter 14, the on-grid or off-grid status of every village was determined for the final target year of 2020 by evaluating benefits and costs of on-grid and off-grid electrification; b) Secondly, as described in Chapter 15, an economic evaluation was carried out for every feeder. On-grid planned feeder construction was allocated to 10th Five Year Plan (FYP) and 11th FYP, so that implementation could start with feeders that have a high economic efficiency. After determining the phase in which feeders will be implemented by using a genuine economic evaluation, it was found that there was a significant difference between the percentage of on-grid households in each Dzongkhag that would be electrified by the end of 10th FYP. For instance, Dzongkhags with larger populations tended to have a relatively high electrification percentage at the end of 10th FYP. This is partly because larger populations bring higher benefits, which makes the feeder IRR higher, so larger number of the feeders are included in 10th FYP. In addition, some Dzongkhags already have a high on-grid electrification percentage at the end of 9th FYP. However, some of the other Dzongkhags still have a lower electrification percentage, even at the end of 10th FYP. The RGoB regards equal rural development as the most important policy. For rural electrification, it is the country’s policy to prepare the plan so that the electrified percentage of every Dzongkhag will become approximately equal by the end of 10th FYP. Thus, the implementation plan that was described in Chapter 15 was modified according to the above policy, and an optimized on-grid phase development plan was prepared. This chapter (Chapter 16) describes the optimized master plan after the modification. It also explains the modification process. Here, factors of the consistency with other development sectors, as well as distance of the feeders from existing roads were considered. Furthermore, power flow analysis was performed for the optimized on-grid system and issues relating to the optimized distribution system were identified. Required countermeasures were presented. In addition to the above, an off-grid electrification plan was also prepared. The final on-grid and off-grid electrification plans have been formulated to optimize the rural electrification master plan. These optimized plans comprise the final output of the study. The economic evaluations for the optimized on-grid and off-grid plans were explained, and finally the optimized Dzongkhag-wise electrification plan was presented. JICA, the Integrated Master Plan Study 16-1 October 2005 for Dzongkhag-wise Electrification in Bhutan Final Report Chapter 16 Optimized Dzongkhag-wise Rural Electrification Master Plan – The Result of the Master Plan Hereafter, 10th FYP (2007-2012) and 11th FYP (2012-2017) of the national development plan are also called Phase-1 and Phase-2, respectively in this master plan. 16.2 Modifications Required to Produce the Optimized On-grid Phase Plan 16.2.1 Method for Optimization The modification was applied to the on-grid electrification plan that was described in Chapter 15 (original plan). The optimized on-grid electrification plan was formulated in accordance with the following procedure: 1) Calculate the on-grid electrification percentage in each phase that was determined by genuine economic evaluation for each Dzongkhag by the original plan. 2) In addition to apply the power sector policy, in order to enhance the efficiency of the development, and to have consistency with other development sectors, move particular feeders originally allocated to Phase-2 to Phase-1. The criteria used to identify which particular feeders would be moved from Phase-2 to Phase-1 are: a) Feeders close to or along to existing roads; b) Feeders located in areas of education sector development; and c) Feeders in areas where electricity is currently supplied by diesel generation. 3) Apply the following modification so that the electrification percentage of each Dzongkhag at the end of Phase-1 is as equal as possible: a) For Dzongkhags with a low electrification percentage at the end of Phase-1 in the original plan, move feeders that had a relatively high IRR in Phase-2 from Phase-2 to Phase-1; b) For Dzongkhags with high electrification percentage at the end of Phase-1 in the original plan, move feeders that had a relatively low IRR in Phase-1 from Phase-1 to Phase-2; and c) For Dzongkhags with a high electrification percentage at the end of Phase-1 in the original plan, for feeders of which branches are long, separate those into more than two feeders, and move sub-feeders that had a low IRR in Phase-1 from Phase-1 to Phase-2. 4) Every time a feeder was re-allocated to Phase-1 or Phase-2 in Step 2 or 3 above, check the balance of the electrification percentage in every Dzongkhag, and continue the work until the balance became more equitable. Although the plan is prepared by phase and by Dzongkhags, when implementing the above procedure, it is important to note that some feeders pass through more than two Dzongkhags. In practical terms, firstly the source side of the feeder needs to be implemented in prior to the backward side of the same feeder. Secondly, it is necessary to separate the number of a JICA, the Integrated Master Plan Study 16-2 October 2005 for Dzongkhag-wise Electrification in Bhutan Final Report Chapter 16 Optimized Dzongkhag-wise Rural Electrification Master Plan – The Result of the Master Plan households connected to the feeder and the feeder length by Dzongkhag in order to calculate the Dzongkhag-wise construction cost and electrification percentage. The number of feeders that will pass through more than two Dzonghags is eight (8), as shown in Table-16.2.1 below.

Prepared by JICA Study Team Four (4) feeders were changed from Phase-1 to Phase-2, and the number of affected households is 1,527. Conversely, construction of eight (8) feeders was brought forward from Phase-2 to Phase-1, affecting a total of 2,418 households. Many of the feeders located near existing roads were already included in Phase-1 by the genuine economic evaluation. In Chapter 14, priority areas identified as being close to existing roads were listed in Table-14.1.3. Of these only feeder MPA11F2-1 in Bumthang was allocated for Phase-2 construction by the genuine economic evaluation process. This particular feeder was changed to Phase-1.
